Upon listening to “Vultures”, the disarmingly melodic single from Dayseeker, the feeling I get is that of emotional desperation. The kind of despair that also brings out the best in musicians. And make no mistake, Dayseeker have been through their share of trial and error, but the sky is looking to break on Dreaming Is Sinking // Waking Is Rising, the band’s 3rd full-length (and first for Spinefarm Records). Buoyed by a recent tour supporting Silent Planet as well as an upcoming one supporting The Color Morale (dates below), “Vultures” is only the first volley of fire that is likely to lead Dayseeker to their best work yet. Whether you consider them post-hardcore, metalcore, alt-metal, or something else entirely, it’s clear that the band is a breath of fresh air to a music scene that often fails to truly progress.
Vocalist Rory Rodriguez is proving himself as one of the scene’s best kept secrets, possessing a versatile voice that’s capable of shrapnel razors one minute, to a passionate and pure singing voice that’s getting better with every record. Make no mistake. 2017 is the year that the legion of new fans Dayseeker are going to see realize what longtime Dayseeker fans have known all along – their future is right now.
